No exporting, no re-uploading, no one forgetting to update the wallboard. - Connect with your Google account, or paste a public link (no account required) - Show the exact tab and cell range you choose, not the whole file (with a connected Google account) - Match your screen design with a custom background color (with a connected Google account) - Auto-refresh anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes - Bridges brief connection drops on modern platforms by showing the last loaded view - Runs inside a Split Screen zone alongside other content - Works alongside playlists and schedules - Works on 11 supported platforms, from Amazon's Signage Stick to any browser Q: Do I need a Google account to connect my sheet? A: No. You can sign in with Google for the full picker experience, or set your sheet's sharing to "Anyone with the link" and paste that link instead. Both are supported. Q: Can I show just one tab, or a specific range of cells? A: Yes. Choose "Full" to show the whole sheet, or "Cell range" and enter something like A1:D10 to show only the part you want. Note: tab, cell-range, and background-color selection are available when you connect your Google account; a public link always shows the full sheet with default styling. Q: How often does the screen refresh? A: You set it yourself, anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes; the default is 5. An edit in your sheet shows on screen at the next refresh, so with a 5-minute interval your change is live within 5 minutes. Q: Does it keep working if the wifi drops? A: On modern player platforms, the screen keeps showing the last successfully loaded view through a brief connection drop. It does need an active connection to actually refresh with new data though, so this is not the same guarantee as Screenbird's offline mode for uploaded videos and images, which plays indefinitely without internet. Q: Can I show an Excel file instead? A: Yes. Screenbird has a separate Excel app alongside Google Sheets, with a similar setup. Q: Can I show multiple sheets on one screen? A: Yes, with Split Screen. Divide the screen into zones and assign a different sheet, tab, or range to each zone. Q: Which TVs and hardware does this work on? A: Any of the 11 platforms Screenbird supports. Amazon's Signage Stick and the Fire TV Stick 4K are the simplest plug-and-play options, and smart TVs with Google or Android TV, Windows, Mac, Linux, and even a regular browser work just as well. Q: Can I combine the sheet with other content on the same screen? A: Yes. Add it to a playlist alongside images and videos, or give it its own Split Screen zone. Q: Can I schedule when the sheet is shown versus other content? A: Yes. Use Scheduling to show the sheet at specific times, for example only during business hours, and switch to other content the rest of the day. Q: Is there a free trial? A: Yes. Every account starts with a free trial. A card is required upfront, and you pay nothing if you cancel within the trial period. Q: How much does it cost? A: EUR 15 per screen per month, or EUR 12 per screen per month with annual billing, excl. VAT. Every feature is included on every plan, no extra cost per app. Q: Can my team manage the screen together? A: Yes. Invite team members with their own role (owner, admin, or user) so more than one person can update the sheet or push it to screens. https://screenbird.app/en/integrations/google-sheets ### Excel Connect your Excel file once and Screenbird keeps it current on any screen with automatic refresh.

A: No. You can sign in with Microsoft for the full picker experience, or set your file's sharing to a public link and paste that link into the setup form instead. Both are supported. Q: Can I show just one worksheet, or a specific range of cells? A: Not yet. The Excel app currently shows the whole spreadsheet. If picking a specific tab or a cell range like A1:D10 matters for your board, our Google Sheets integration supports that today. Q: How often does the screen refresh? A: You set it yourself, anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes; the default is 5. An edit in your spreadsheet shows on screen at the next refresh, so with a 5-minute interval your change is live within 5 minutes. Q: Does it keep working if the wifi drops? A: On modern player platforms, the screen keeps showing the last successfully loaded view through a brief connection drop. It still needs an active connection to actually refresh with new data though, so this is not the same guarantee as Screenbird's offline mode for uploaded videos and images, which plays indefinitely without internet. Q: Can I show a Google Sheet instead? A: Yes. Screenbird has a separate Google Sheets app alongside Excel, with tab and cell-range selection built in. Q: Does this need the Excel desktop app, or does it work with the online version? A: It works with Excel Online: the file lives in OneDrive or SharePoint under your Microsoft account, or is shared as a public link. No desktop install and no local .xlsx file syncing is involved for the screen itself. Q: Can I show multiple spreadsheets on one screen? A: Yes, with Split Screen. Divide the screen into zones and assign a different Excel file, or a mix of Excel and Google Sheets, to each zone. Q: Which TVs and hardware does this work on?

Invite team members with their own role (owner, admin, or user) so more than one person can update the spreadsheet or push it to screens. https://screenbird.app/en/integrations/excel ### Power BI Connect your Power BI workspace once and Screenbird keeps your report or dashboard current on any screen with automatic refresh. No exporting to a static image, no laptop left open in a corner, no one forgetting to reshare the report. - Connect with your Microsoft account, or paste a public link to a Power BI report or dashboard (no account required) - Choose your workspace, then the exact report or dashboard you want to show - Auto-rotate through every page of a multi-page report, or pin the screen to a single page - Match your screen design with a custom background color - Auto-refresh anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes - Bridges brief connection drops on modern platforms by showing the last loaded view - Runs inside a Split Screen zone alongside other content - Works alongside playlists and schedules - Works on 11 supported platforms, from Amazon's Signage Stick to any browser Q: Do I need a Microsoft account to connect Power BI? A: No. Sign in with Microsoft to pick your workspace and report from a list, or paste a public Power BI link instead. Note that the workspace picker and page rotation are only available when you connect your account; a pasted link shows exactly the page it points to. Q: Can I show a specific page of my report, or does it rotate automatically? A: Both. Pin the screen to a single page, or let it rotate through every page on its own. Set how many seconds each page stays up, and exclude any pages you do not want in the rotation. Q: Can I show a Power BI dashboard instead of a report? A: Yes. Choose "Dashboard" as the content type and pick from your workspace. A dashboard is a single view in Power BI itself, so page rotation does not apply to it. Q: How often does the screen refresh? A: You set it yourself, anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes; the default is 15. An update to the underlying data shows on screen at the next refresh, so with a 15-minute interval your change is live within 15 minutes. Q: Does it keep working if the wifi drops? A: On modern player platforms, the screen keeps showing the last successfully loaded view through a brief connection drop. It still needs an active connection to actually refresh with new data though, so this is not the same guarantee as Screenbird's offline mode for uploaded videos and images, which plays indefinitely without internet. Q: Can I show a spreadsheet instead of a Power BI report? A: Yes. Screenbird has separate Google Sheets and Excel apps alongside Power BI, each with its own setup. Q: Which TVs and hardware does this work on? A: Any of the 11 platforms Screenbird supports. Amazon's Signage Stick and the Fire TV Stick 4K are the simplest plug-and-play options, and smart TVs with Google or Android TV, Windows, Mac, Linux, and even a regular browser work just as well. Q: Can I show a report and a dashboard on the same screen? A: Yes, with Split Screen. Divide the screen into zones and give each one its own Power BI app, mixing reports, dashboards, or other content. Q: Can I schedule when the report is shown versus other content? A: Yes. Use Scheduling to show the report at specific times, for example only during business hours, and switch to other content the rest of the day. Q: Is there a free trial? A: Yes. Every account starts with a free trial. A card is required upfront, and you pay nothing if you cancel within the trial period. Q: How much does it cost? A: EUR 15 per screen per month, or EUR 12 per screen per month with annual billing, excl. VAT. Every feature is included on every plan, no extra cost per app. Q: Can my team manage the screen together? A: Yes. Invite team members with their own role (owner, admin, or user) so more than one person can update the report or push it to screens. https://screenbird.app/en/integrations/power-bi ### Instagram Connect your Instagram account once, choose your feed or Stories, and Screenbird keeps it live on a screen with automatic refresh.

Pick "Own feed" or "Stories" in the app settings; both are supported. Q: What layouts are available? A: Six: a single post, a grid, a carousel, a feed-style scroll, a mosaic, or flip cards. Pick whichever fits your screen. Q: How many posts show, and can I filter out older ones? A: You set how many posts appear, up to 100, and you can add a maximum age in days so posts older than that stop showing at the next refresh. Q: Can I add my bio and a way for people to follow me? A: Yes. Turn on the account banner to show your bio and a QR code, with your own text like "Scan to follow". Q: How often does the screen refresh? A: You set it yourself, anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes; the default is 5. A new post shows on screen at the next refresh. Q: What happens if my Instagram connection expires, or the wifi drops? A: If your Instagram login needs refreshing, Screenbird shows a reconnect prompt in the app settings; one click reconnects it. Through a brief wifi drop on modern platforms, the screen keeps showing the last loaded view, but it does need an active connection again to load new posts.

Add it to a playlist alongside images and videos, or give it its own Split Screen zone. Q: Can I schedule when it's shown? A: Yes. Use Scheduling to show it at specific times, for example only during business hours, and switch to other content the rest of the day. Q: Which TVs and hardware does this work on? A: Any of the 11 platforms Screenbird supports. Amazon's Signage Stick and the Fire TV Stick 4K are the simplest plug-and-play options, and smart TVs with Google or Android TV, Windows, Mac, Linux, and even a regular browser work just as well. Q: Is there a free trial? A: Yes. Every account starts with a free trial. A card is required upfront, and you pay nothing if you cancel within the trial period. Q: How much does it cost? A: EUR 15 per screen per month, or EUR 12 per screen per month with annual billing, excl. VAT. Every feature is included on every plan, no extra cost per app. Q: Can my team manage the notice board together? A: Yes. Invite team members with their own role (owner, admin, or user) so more than one person can update the message or push it to screens. https://screenbird.app/en/integrations/notice-board ### Canva Keep designing in Canva. Screenbird takes the link and puts it on any screen, refreshed automatically, so your poster, menu, or announcement never needs a reprint or a re-upload. - Paste a public Canva design link, no Canva account connection needed - Shows your Canva design full-screen, kept current with automatic refresh - Adjust the zoom from 50% to 200% to frame the design exactly how you want it - Auto-refresh anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes, catching design edits automatically - Bridges brief connection drops on modern platforms by showing the last loaded view - Runs inside a Split Screen zone alongside other content - Works alongside playlists and schedules - Works on 11 supported platforms, from Amazon's Signage Stick to any browser Q: Do I need a Canva account to connect, or is it just a link? A: Just a link. There is no Canva account connection for this app: you paste a public design link and that is the whole setup, simpler than some of our other apps that also offer an account sign-in option. Q: What kind of Canva link do I need? A: Any link to your design that starts with canva.com. Open your design in Canva, click Share, and copy the link, then paste it into the setup form. Make sure link sharing is set so anyone with the link can view it, the same setting you would use to share it for presenting or embedding elsewhere. Q: How often does the screen refresh? A: You set it yourself, anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes; the default is 5. An edit to your design shows on screen at the next refresh, so with a 5-minute interval your change is live within 5 minutes. Q: Can I adjust how the design fits the screen? A: Yes. A zoom setting from 50% to 200% lets you frame the design exactly how you want it, useful if your design's canvas size does not exactly match your screen's aspect ratio. Q: Does it keep working if the wifi drops? A: On modern player platforms, the screen keeps showing the last successfully loaded view through a brief connection drop. It still needs an active connection to actually refresh with new data though, so this is not the same guarantee as Screenbird's offline mode for uploaded videos and images, which plays indefinitely without internet. Q: Can I show a rotating, multi-slide presentation instead of one design? A: Not with this app; it shows one Canva design at a time. For a rotating multi-slide presentation, our Google Slides app auto-advances through slides on its own schedule. Q: Can I show multiple Canva designs on one screen? A: Yes, with Split Screen. Divide the screen into zones and assign a different Canva design, or a mix of Canva and other apps, to each zone. Q: Which TVs and hardware does this work on? A: Any of the 11 platforms Screenbird supports. Amazon's Signage Stick and the Fire TV Stick 4K are the simplest plug-and-play options, and smart TVs with Google or Android TV, Windows, Mac, Linux, and even a regular browser work just as well. Q: Can I combine my Canva design with other content on the same screen? A: Yes. Add it to a playlist alongside images and videos, or give it its own Split Screen zone. Q: Can I schedule when the design is shown versus other content? A: Yes. Use Scheduling to show the design at specific times, for example only during business hours, and switch to other content the rest of the day. Q: Is there a free trial? A: Yes. Every account starts with a free trial. A card is required upfront, and you pay nothing if you cancel within the trial period. Q: How much does it cost? A: EUR 15 per screen per month, or EUR 12 per screen per month with annual billing, excl. VAT. Every feature is included on every plan, no extra cost per app. Q: Can my team manage the screen together? A: Yes. Invite team members with their own role (owner, admin, or user) so more than one person can update the design link or push it to screens. https://screenbird.app/en/integrations/canva ### Google Slides Connect your Google Slides deck once and Screenbird turns it into a self-running loop on any screen. No exporting to PDF, no re-uploading images, no one forgetting to click through the slides. - Connect with your Google account, or paste a public link (no account required) - Cycles through your slides on its own, with auto-advance anywhere from 1 to 60 seconds - Choose how slides transition, from a soft fade to a flip or gallery effect, for presentations connected with your Google account - Set the transition speed to fast, normal, or slow - Bridges brief connection drops on modern platforms by showing the last loaded view - Runs inside a Split Screen zone alongside other content - Works alongside playlists and schedules - Works on 11 supported platforms, from Amazon's Signage Stick to any browser Q: Do I need a Google account to connect my presentation? A: No. You can sign in with Google for the full picker experience, or set your presentation's sharing to "Anyone with the link" and paste that link instead. Both are supported. Q: Does the screen update automatically when I edit the deck? A: Yes, in both modes, though the mechanism differs. A presentation shared as "Anyone with the link" plays through Google's own live embed, so edits show up on Google's own schedule. A presentation connected through your Google account is checked again automatically in the background; there is no interval for you to set. Q: How does auto-advance work? A: Set how many seconds each slide stays on screen, anywhere from 1 to 60; the default is 5. The deck then loops on its own, from the first slide to the last and back to the first. Q: Can I control how slides transition between each other? A: Yes, for presentations connected with your Google account: choose from several styles, including a fade, a slide, a flip, and a gallery effect, plus a transition speed. If your presentation is shared publicly, Google's own transitions and slide timing take over instead. Q: Can I show just one slide, or does it always play the whole deck? A: It always plays through the whole deck in order and loops back to the start. There is no way to show only a single slide. Q: Can I show a PowerPoint file instead? A: Yes. Screenbird has a separate PowerPoint app alongside Google Slides, with a similar setup. Q: Can I show multiple presentations on one screen? A: Yes, with Split Screen. Divide the screen into zones and assign a different presentation to each one. Q: Which TVs and hardware does this work on? A: Any of the 11 platforms Screenbird supports. Amazon's Signage Stick and the Fire TV Stick 4K are the simplest plug-and-play options, and smart TVs with Google or Android TV, Windows, Mac, Linux, and even a regular browser work just as well.

Every feature is included on every plan, no extra cost per app. Q: Can my team manage the screen together? A: Yes. Invite team members with their own role (owner, admin, or user) so more than one person can update the presentation or push it to screens. https://screenbird.app/en/integrations/google-slides ### Google Calendar Connect your Google Calendar once, choose how it looks, and Screenbird keeps it live on a screen with automatic refresh. No printouts, no whiteboard, no one forgetting to update the board. - Connect with your Google account, or paste a public calendar link (no account required) - Choose the view: agenda list, day, week, or month - Show only what's ahead, from 1 to 90 days, in agenda view - Auto-refresh anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes - Optional clock and event location shown on screen - Available in 12 languages, so dates and day names match your audience - Bridges brief connection drops on modern platforms by showing the last loaded view - Runs inside a Split Screen zone alongside other content - Works on 11 supported platforms, from Amazon's Signage Stick to any browser Q: Do I need a Google account to connect my calendar? A: No. You can sign in with Google for the full picker experience, or set your calendar's sharing to public and paste that link into the setup form instead. Both are supported. Q: Which views can I choose? A: Four: an agenda list of upcoming events, or a single day, week, or month grid. Pick whichever reads best on your screen. Q: Can I control how far ahead it shows? A: Yes, in agenda view. Set it anywhere from 1 to 90 days ahead; 14 days is the default. Q: How often does the screen refresh? A: You set it yourself, anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes; the default is 5. A new event shows on screen at the next refresh, so with a 5-minute interval your change is live within 5 minutes. Q: Does it keep working if the wifi drops? A: On modern player platforms, the screen keeps showing the last successfully loaded view through a brief connection drop. It does need an active connection to actually refresh with new data though, so this is not the same guarantee as Screenbird's offline mode for uploaded videos and images, which plays indefinitely without internet. Q: Can I show more than one calendar on one screen? A: Each app connects one calendar. To show several at once, use Split Screen and assign a different calendar to each zone. Q: Can I turn off the clock or the event location? A: Yes. Both the on-screen clock and the event location are optional toggles you set when configuring the app. Q: What shows on screen, is this safe for a private calendar? A: Only the calendar you choose to connect appears, exactly as its events are titled. There is no redaction on top, so treat the connected calendar as public-facing: put a shared team, venue, or location calendar on screen, and keep personal calendars off it. Q: Can I show it in a different language? A: Yes. Choose from 12 supported languages for dates and day names on screen, independent of the language your own dashboard is set to. Q: Can I show an Outlook Calendar instead? A: Yes. Screenbird has a separate Outlook Calendar app that connects the same way, with a Microsoft account or a public link. Q: Which TVs and hardware does this work on? A: Any of the 11 platforms Screenbird supports. Amazon's Signage Stick and the Fire TV Stick 4K are the simplest plug-and-play options, and smart TVs with Google or Android TV, Windows, Mac, Linux, and even a regular browser work just as well. Q: Is there a free trial? A: Yes. Every account starts with a free trial. A card is required upfront, and you pay nothing if you cancel within the trial period. Q: How much does it cost? A: EUR 15 per screen per month, or EUR 12 per screen per month with annual billing, excl. VAT. Every feature is included on every plan, no extra cost per app. Q: Can my team manage the screen together? A: Yes. Invite team members with their own role (owner, admin, or user) so more than one person can update the calendar connection or push it to screens. https://screenbird.app/en/integrations/google-calendar ### Screen Mirror Click Share on any paired screen, pick what to share, and your laptop appears there in seconds, no cables, no dongles, and nothing to install. The video travels peer-to-peer and never touches Screenbird's servers, and when you stop, the screen returns to its normal content on its own. - Share your laptop to any paired screen in one click from the dashboard, no cables or dongles - Video travels peer-to-peer between your laptop and the screen, and never passes through Screenbird's servers - Share to a single zone of a Split Screen or video wall without interrupting the rest - Returns the screen to its normal content automatically the moment you stop sharing - Works from Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari on a laptop or desktop, no install needed - Streams up to 1080p at 30fps, holding sharpness first if the network gets weak - Share your computer or tab audio too, opt-in, on supported browsers - Add the Screen Mirror app to a screen so a walk-up guest can connect with a code, no dashboard login needed - Start up to 5 simultaneous shares from the dashboard Q: Does my screen share ever pass through Screenbird's servers? A: No. The video connection is peer-to-peer (WebRTC), straight from your laptop to the screen. Only the initial handshake that connects the two goes through Screenbird, never the video itself, which matters if you're sharing something confidential in a meeting. Q: Can I share my screen from my phone, or do I need to install anything? A: Screen Mirror works from a laptop or desktop browser only, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari; phones and tablets can't share as a source. Nothing needs installing either way, just an open browser tab. Q: Can I share to just one zone of a split screen or video wall? A: Yes. Share to a single zone of a Split Screen setup, and the rest of the screen keeps showing its own content the whole time. Q: What happens on screen when I stop sharing? A: The screen returns to whatever it was showing before, automatically. Stop by clicking Stop, closing the browser tab, or using your browser's own "Stop sharing" control; any of the three works. Q: Can I share my computer's audio too? A: It's optional and off by default. Chrome and Edge on Windows can share system audio; on a Mac, only the audio from the shared browser tab comes through. Firefox and Safari don't support sharing audio at all. Q: What video quality should I expect? A: Up to 1080p at 30 frames per second. On a weaker connection it holds resolution and trims the frame rate first, since it's built for slides and screens, not for smooth fast-motion video. Q: What if sharing fails on a guest network or behind a corporate firewall? A: Screen Mirror connects device to device directly, so a network that blocks that, like a locked-down guest wifi or a strict corporate firewall, can prevent it from connecting at all. There's no fallback relay for that case today; if it happens, the screen tells you to check with your network administrator. Q: Are there any limits on how long or how many screens I can share to? A: A session runs up to 12 hours, and the browser tab needs to stay open; it's built for a short break in attention, not a long absence. From the dashboard you can run up to 5 simultaneous shares at the same time; screens with the Screen Mirror app added for walk-up sharing are not counted against that limit. Q: Can a walk-up guest share without my dashboard login? A: Yes. Add the Screen Mirror app to a screen and it shows a 6-character code and web address instead of your regular content. Anyone nearby types that code into their own laptop browser to connect, no dashboard access needed, and a fresh code appears the moment the previous share ends. Q: Which TVs and hardware does this work on? A: Amazon's Signage Stick is the simplest plug-and-play option and is hardware-tested for a smooth 1080p at 30fps, and the Fire TV Stick 4K, smart TVs, and Windows, Mac, or Linux devices work the same way, as long as the platform supports modern web standards. A few older smart TV platforms, like Tizen 4 and webOS 3.0, along with Apple TV, aren't supported as a receiving screen. Q: Is there a free trial? A: Yes. Every account starts with a free trial. A card is required upfront, and you pay nothing if you cancel within the trial period. Q: How much does it cost? A: EUR 15 per screen per month, or EUR 12 per screen per month with annual billing, excl. VAT. Every feature is included on every plan, no extra cost per app. Q: Can my team manage this together? A: Yes. Invite team members with their own role (owner, admin, or user) so more than one person can start a share or manage the Screen Mirror app on a screen. https://screenbird.app/en/integrations/screen-mirror ### VALD Connect your VALD environment and Screenbird turns raw ForceDecks and NordBord test data into a ranked leaderboard on any screen in the gym, locker room, or hallway. No exporting to a spreadsheet, no printed sheet that's out of date after the next session. - Connect your own VALD environment (ForceDecks and NordBord); Screenbird only reads your organisation's data - Scoped to one team at a time, so an organisation running multiple teams keeps each one's board separate - Shows whichever tests and metrics your team actually records, pulled from your own VALD catalog - Ranks each metric in the right direction automatically (higher or lower is better), read from VALD's own metadata - Rolling window (for example, best test in the last 30 days) or a fixed date range - Exclude specific players from the board, for anyone injured, on loan, or no longer on the team - Three layouts: podium with rotating pages, podium with columns, or a plain columns list, in 1 or 2 columns - Upload your own logo and pick a light or dark theme to match your screen design - Runs inside a Split Screen zone alongside other content - Works on 11 supported platforms, from Amazon's Signage Stick to any browser Q: Which VALD systems does this work with? A: ForceDecks and NordBord. The leaderboard is fed by whichever tests your team already records, for example jump and power tests like CMJ on ForceDecks, or the Nordic hamstring test on NordBord, picked from your own VALD test catalog rather than a fixed list. Q: Do I need a VALD account? A: Yes. The leaderboard is built from your own VALD environment, so you need an existing VALD account with ForceDecks and/or NordBord test data. Q: Do I need to set this up myself, or does Screenbird do it? A: You enter your VALD API credentials once, in the app's connection panel. If you don't already have API access, VALD issues it through their own request process, and Screenbird can point you to it, but VALD is the one who grants it. Q: Does Screenbird store our VALD data? A: Screenbird reads live from your VALD environment and doesn't retain your results as a stored record. It only caches them briefly so the screen stays current. Q: Can different teams within our organisation each have their own leaderboard? A: Yes. Each VALD app is scoped to one team, so a first team, an academy squad, and a rehab group can each get their own board without seeing each other's data. Q: Can we leave specific players off the board? A: Yes. Turn on the exclude toggle and search for anyone you want left off, for example someone injured, on loan, or no longer on the team. Q: How often does the leaderboard update? A: Automatically. Screenbird keeps the board current in the background, so the newest test results appear on the screen on their own, without anyone setting a refresh interval. Q: Does it keep working if the wifi drops? A: On modern player platforms, the screen keeps showing the last successfully loaded leaderboard through a brief connection drop. It still needs an active connection to actually refresh with new test results, so this is not the same guarantee as Screenbird's offline mode for uploaded videos and images, which plays indefinitely without internet. Q: Can we add our own logo? A: Yes. Upload your own logo directly in the app's settings, alongside a light or dark theme. Q: Which TVs and hardware does this work on? A: Any of the 11 platforms Screenbird supports. Amazon's Signage Stick and the Fire TV Stick 4K are the simplest plug-and-play options, and smart TVs with Google or Android TV, Windows, Mac, Linux, and even a regular browser work just as well. Q: Can we show the leaderboard alongside other content? A: Yes, with Split Screen. Divide the screen into zones and give one its own VALD board while the rest shows a schedule, notice board, or anything else. Q: Can we schedule when the leaderboard shows versus other content? A: Yes. Use Scheduling to show the leaderboard at specific times, for example only after training sessions, and switch to other content the rest of the day. Q: Is there a free trial? A: Yes. Every account starts with a free trial. A card is required upfront, and you pay nothing if you cancel within the trial period. Q: How much does it cost? A: EUR 15 per screen per month, or EUR 12 per screen per month with annual billing, excl. VAT. Every feature is included on every plan, no extra cost per app. https://screenbird.app/en/integrations/vald ## Everything you can put on a screen The full app catalog.

For a screen that needs to stay up all day without a computer attached, signage software is the reliable option: it refreshes the sheet on a schedule, and on a dedicated player like Amazon's Signage Stick, the screen starts playing again by itself after a power cut. Casting from a laptop or phone: works for a quick meeting, but the source device has to stay on and connected. Close the laptop, and the screen goes dark. The TV's own browser: needs no extra hardware, but TV browsers do not refresh on a schedule, fall asleep, and cannot be managed remotely. A DIY kiosk (Raspberry Pi or mini-PC): runs unattended, but you build and maintain it yourself: no remote management, no scheduling, and nobody restarts it when it hangs. Q: How often does the screen refresh? A: You choose the interval when you set it up, anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes. The screen only re-reads the sheet at that interval, it does not need a constant live connection in between. Q: What happens if the TV or player turns off? A: When it turns back on, the player reconnects and loads the sheet again on its normal schedule. During a brief connection drop on modern platforms it can keep showing the last loaded view. Q: Why isn't my Google Sheet updating on the TV? A: First check the refresh interval in the app settings; the screen only re-reads the sheet at that interval. If it still lags, confirm the player is online and that the sheet's sharing setting has not changed (a revoked link or account disconnect stops updates). A quick way to force it: push the app to the screen again. Q: Can I show a public sheet without signing in with a Google account? A: Yes. Set the sheet's sharing option to "Anyone with the link" and paste that link into the setup form instead of connecting your Google account. Q: Can I show multiple sheets on one screen at once? A: Yes, using Split Screen. Divide the screen into zones and assign a different sheet, tab, or range to each zone. Q: Do I need to keep a computer or browser open for this to work? A: No. Once it is configured, the screen runs on its own from the paired device. Nothing needs to stay open on your computer. Q: Can I use this method for an Excel file instead of Google Sheets? A: Yes. The same signage-software approach works for Excel files too, using a separate Excel app with a similar setup. https://screenbird.app/en/guides/how-to-display-google-sheets-on-tv ### How to display an Excel spreadsheet on a TV screen An Excel spreadsheet can reach a TV screen in three ways: casting from a laptop, opening the file in the TV's browser, or connecting it through digital signage software. Casting and TV browsers depend on a device staying awake; signage software reads the file itself, refreshes it on a schedule, and a dedicated player stick recovers on its own after a reboot, which is why it is the standard choice for a screen that runs all day. Casting from a laptop or phone: works fine for a quick meeting, but the source device has to stay powered on and connected. Close the laptop, and the screen goes dark. The TV's own browser: needs no extra hardware, but TV browsers do not refresh on a schedule, fall asleep, and cannot be managed remotely. A DIY kiosk (Raspberry Pi or mini-PC): runs unattended, but you build and maintain it yourself: no remote management, no scheduling, and nobody restarts it when it hangs. Q: How often does the screen refresh? A: You choose the interval when you set it up, anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes. The screen only re-reads the file at that interval, it does not need a constant live connection in between. Q: What happens if the TV or player turns off? A: When it turns back on, the player reconnects and loads the spreadsheet again on its normal schedule. During a brief connection drop on modern platforms it can keep showing the last loaded view. Q: Why isn't my Excel file updating on the TV? A: First check the refresh interval in the app settings; the screen only re-reads the file at that interval. If it still lags, confirm the player is online and that the file's sharing setting has not changed (a revoked link or a disconnected Microsoft account stops updates). A quick way to force it: push the app to the screen again. Q: Can I show a public file without signing in with a Microsoft account? A: Yes. Share the file as a public link and paste that link into the setup form instead of connecting your Microsoft account. Q: Can I show multiple Excel files on one screen at once? A: Yes, using Split Screen. Divide the screen into zones and assign a different Excel file, or a mix of Excel and Google Sheets, to each zone. Q: Do I need to keep a computer or browser open for this to work? A: No. Once it is configured, the screen runs on its own from the paired device. Nothing needs to stay open on your computer. Q: Can I use this method for a Google Sheet instead of Excel? A: Yes. The same signage-software approach works for Google Sheets too, using a separate app that also lets you pick a tab and cell range. https://screenbird.app/en/guides/how-to-display-excel-on-tv ### How to display a Power BI report on a TV screen Power BI has no built-in TV mode, so a wallboard needs one of three routes: a computer driving the TV over HDMI, the TV's browser signed in to the Power BI service, or digital signage software that embeds the report. For an unattended screen the third route is the dependable one: the data refreshes on a schedule, and on a dedicated player like Amazon's Signage Stick, the screen comes back on its own after a power cut. Casting from a laptop or phone: works fine for a quick meeting, but the source device has to stay powered on and connected. Close the laptop, and the screen goes dark. The TV's own browser: needs no extra hardware, but TV browsers do not refresh on a schedule, fall asleep, and cannot be managed remotely. A DIY kiosk (Raspberry Pi or mini-PC): runs unattended, but you build and maintain it yourself: no remote management, no scheduling, and nobody restarts it when it hangs. Q: How often does the screen refresh? A: You choose the interval when you set it up, anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes; the default is 15. The screen only re-reads the report at that interval, it does not need a constant live connection in between. Q: What happens if the TV or player turns off? A: When it turns back on, the player reconnects and loads the report again on its normal schedule. During a brief connection drop on modern platforms it can keep showing the last loaded view. Q: Why isn't my Power BI report updating on the TV? A: First check the refresh interval in the app settings; the screen only re-reads the report at that interval. If it still lags, confirm the player is online and that your Microsoft account is still connected, or that a pasted public link has not been revoked. A quick way to force it: push the app to the screen again. Q: My report has several pages. Why does the screen stay on one page? A: Page rotation is only available when you connect with your Microsoft account and show a report: the screen then cycles through the pages on the interval you set, and you can exclude pages you don't want on the wall. A pasted public link always stays on the exact page it points to. Q: Can I show multiple Power BI reports on one screen at once? A: Yes, using Split Screen. Divide the screen into zones and assign a different report, dashboard, or a mix of Power BI and other apps, to each zone. Q: Do I need to keep a computer or browser open for this to work? A: No. Once it is configured, the screen runs on its own from the paired device. Nothing needs to stay open on your computer. Q: Can I use this method for a spreadsheet instead of Power BI? A: Yes. The same signage-software approach works for Google Sheets and Excel too, each using its own app with a similar setup. https://screenbird.app/en/guides/how-to-display-power-bi-on-tv ### How to display Instagram on a TV screen To get an Instagram feed onto a TV you can cast from a phone, open the web version in the TV's browser, or connect the account through digital signage software. The first two stop the moment the phone leaves or the browser falls asleep; signage software keeps the feed on the wall all day, pulls in new posts on a schedule, and on a dedicated player like Amazon's Signage Stick, recovers on its own after a power cut. Casting from a phone or laptop: works for a quick meeting or a party, but the source device has to stay on and connected. Close the app, and the screen goes dark. The TV's own browser: needs no extra hardware, but TV browsers do not refresh on a schedule, fall asleep, and cannot be managed remotely. A DIY kiosk (Raspberry Pi or mini-PC): runs unattended, but you build and maintain it yourself: no remote management, no scheduling, and nobody restarts it when it hangs. Q: How often does the screen refresh? A: You choose the interval when you set it up, anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes. The screen only re-checks the account at that interval, it does not need a constant live connection in between. Q: What happens if the TV or player turns off? A: When it turns back on, the player reconnects and loads the feed again on its normal schedule. During a brief connection drop on modern platforms it can keep showing the last loaded view. Q: Why isn't my Instagram feed updating on the TV? A: First check the refresh interval in the app settings; the screen only re-checks the account at that interval. If it still lags, confirm the player is online and that the Instagram connection has not expired (a reconnect prompt shows in the app settings if it needs refreshing). A quick way to force it: push the app to the screen again. Q: Do I need to be able to log into the Instagram account myself to connect it? A: Yes. Unlike some other apps, Instagram connects only through a sign-in with the account you want to display; there is no public-link option. Q: Can I show more than one Instagram account on one screen? A: Yes, using Split Screen. Divide the screen into zones and assign a different account to each. Q: Do I need to keep a phone, computer, or browser open for this to work? A: No. Once it is configured, the screen runs on its own from the paired device. Nothing needs to stay open on your phone or computer. Q: Can I preview exactly what will show on screen before I push it live? A: Yes. The setup form shows a live preview of the layout and your actual posts before you save, so there are no surprises once it is on screen. https://screenbird.app/en/guides/how-to-display-instagram-on-tv ### How to make a digital notice board A digital notice board is a screen that shows a message you can update from anywhere, instead of a printed sign or a whiteboard someone has to walk over to change. For a board that needs to stay up all day without anyone tending it, digital signage software is the reliable way to run one: it keeps the message on screen, and on a dedicated player like Amazon's Signage Stick, the screen comes back on its own after a reboot. A printed sign or poster: looks fine on day one, but someone has to notice it's outdated, reprint it, and walk over to swap it. A whiteboard or corkboard: needs a marker or a pin close by, and only shows what fits in that one spot, nothing more once it's full. A shared doc or group chat: reaches people who already check it, but says nothing to someone just walking past. Q: Can someone without technical skills keep the board up to date? A: Yes. Updating is just editing a text field: open the app in My files, change the message, save, and push. No design tools, no file exports, and the change is on the screen within seconds. Q: What happens if the TV or player turns off? A: When it turns back on, the player reconnects and shows the notice board again on its own, using whatever was last pushed to that screen. Q: Can I show more than one notice on the same screen? A: Yes, using Split Screen. Give each notice its own zone, or put a few Notice Board apps in a playlist that rotates between them. Q: Do I need any design skills to make one look good? A: No. Pick a font, a size, an alignment, and a couple of colors. There is no canvas to lay out and nothing to align by eye. Q: Do I need to keep a computer or browser open for this to work? A: No. Once it is configured, the screen runs on its own from the paired device. Nothing needs to stay open on your computer. Q: Can I show a notice board alongside a schedule or other content? A: Yes. Add it to a playlist alongside images and videos, or give it its own Split Screen zone, and use Scheduling to control when it's shown. Q: What if I need something more visual than plain text? A: Notice Board is built for a fast, simple message. For images, custom shapes, or a fuller layout, build it in Screenbird's Designer and push that to the same screen instead. https://screenbird.app/en/guides/how-to-make-a-digital-notice-board ### How to display a Canva design on a TV screen A Canva design can go on a TV three ways: cast the tab from a laptop, open the design in the TV's browser, or link it through digital signage software. For a screen that hangs in a shop or lobby all day, signage software is the dependable route: it shows the design full-screen, picks up your edits automatically, and on a dedicated player like Amazon's Signage Stick, restarts itself after a reboot. Casting from a laptop or phone: works fine for a quick meeting or a one-off display, but the source device has to stay powered on and connected. Close the laptop, and the screen goes dark. The TV's own browser: needs no extra hardware, but TV browsers do not refresh on a schedule, fall asleep, and cannot be managed remotely. A DIY kiosk (Raspberry Pi or mini-PC): runs unattended, but you build and maintain it yourself: no remote management, no scheduling, and nobody restarts it when it hangs. Q: How often does the screen refresh? A: You choose the interval when you set it up, anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes. The screen only re-reads the link at that interval, it does not need a constant live connection in between. Q: What happens if the TV or player turns off? A: When it turns back on, the player reconnects and loads the design again on its normal schedule. During a brief connection drop on modern platforms it can keep showing the last loaded view. Q: Why isn't my Canva design updating on the TV? A: First check the refresh interval in the app settings; the screen only re-reads the link at that interval. If it still lags, confirm the player is online and that your design's link sharing has not changed (turning off public link access stops updates). A quick way to force it: push the app to the screen again. Q: Can I show a design that isn't public yet, like something still in draft? A: No. The screen loads your design the same way a visitor with the link would, so link sharing needs to allow anyone with the link to view it. A private, not-shared design will not display. Q: Can I rotate several Canva designs on the same screen during the day? A: Yes. Add each design as its own app and put them in a playlist: the screen cycles through them for as long as you set per item. Scheduling takes it further, showing the right design at the right time of day. Q: Do I need to keep a computer or browser open for this to work? A: No. Once it is configured, the screen runs on its own from the paired device. Nothing needs to stay open on your computer. Q: My Canva link opens on the wrong part of the design. Can I adjust what the screen shows? A: Yes. The setup form has a zoom setting from 50 to 200 percent, so you can scale the design until it fills the screen the way you want. Check the live preview while you adjust it. https://screenbird.app/en/guides/how-to-display-canva-on-tv ### How to display Google Slides on a TV screen You can put a Google Slides presentation on a TV by casting from a computer, opening the deck in the TV's browser, or connecting it through digital signage software. Only the last one runs unattended: the deck loops and advances on its own, your edits show up automatically, and on a dedicated player like Amazon's Signage Stick, the screen recovers by itself after an outage. Casting from a laptop or phone: works for a quick meeting, but the source device has to stay on and connected. Close the laptop, and the screen goes dark. The TV's own browser: needs no extra hardware, but TV browsers do not advance slides on their own, fall asleep, and cannot be managed remotely. A DIY kiosk (Raspberry Pi or mini-PC): runs unattended, but you build and maintain it yourself: no remote management, no scheduling, and nobody restarts it when it hangs. Q: Why isn't my presentation advancing? A: Check the auto-advance setting in the app; without it set, a slide will not move on its own. If it still isn't advancing, confirm the player is online and push the app to the screen again. Q: What happens if the TV or player turns off? A: When it turns back on, the player reconnects and picks the presentation back up from the start. During a brief connection drop on modern platforms it can keep showing the last loaded view. Q: Why isn't my latest edit to the deck showing up? A: Give it a moment: Screenbird checks for the current version of your presentation on its own schedule rather than the instant you save an edit. If it still hasn't picked up your change, confirm the player is online and push the app to the screen again. Q: Can I show a public presentation without signing in with a Google account? A: Yes. Set the presentation's sharing option to "Anyone with the link" and paste that link into the setup form instead of connecting your Google account. Q: Can I show multiple presentations on one screen at once? A: Yes, using Split Screen. Divide the screen into zones and assign a different presentation to each one. Q: Do I need to keep a computer or browser open for this to work? A: No. Once it is configured, the screen runs on its own from the paired device. Nothing needs to stay open on your computer. Q: Can I use this method for a PowerPoint file instead of Google Slides? A: Yes. Screenbird has a separate PowerPoint app for .pptx files, with a similar setup. https://screenbird.app/en/guides/how-to-display-google-slides-on-tv ### How to display a Google Calendar on a TV screen A calendar can reach a TV screen three ways: casting from a computer, opening Google Calendar in the TV's browser, or connecting it through digital signage software. For an always-on office or venue screen, signage software is the reliable route: it refreshes the events on a schedule and asks you to reconnect if the Google sign-in ever expires, and on a dedicated player like Amazon's Signage Stick, comes back on its own after a reboot. Casting from a laptop or phone: works for a quick meeting, but the source device has to stay on and connected. Close the laptop, and the screen goes dark. The TV's own browser: needs no extra hardware, but TV browsers do not refresh on a schedule, fall asleep, and cannot be managed remotely. A DIY kiosk (Raspberry Pi or mini-PC): runs unattended, but you build and maintain it yourself: no remote management, no scheduling, and nobody restarts it when it hangs. Q: How often does the screen refresh? A: You choose the interval when you set it up, anywhere from every 1 to 60 minutes. The screen only re-reads the calendar at that interval, it does not need a constant live connection in between. Q: What happens if the TV or player turns off? A: When it turns back on, the player reconnects and loads the calendar again on its normal schedule. During a brief connection drop on modern platforms it can keep showing the last loaded view. Q: Why isn't my calendar updating on the TV? A: First check the refresh interval in the app settings; the screen only re-reads the calendar at that interval. If it still lags, confirm the player is online and that the calendar's sharing setting has not changed (a revoked link or account disconnect stops updates). A quick way to force it: push the app to the screen again. Q: Can I show a public calendar without signing in with a Google account? A: Yes. Set the calendar's sharing to public and paste that link into the setup form instead of connecting your Google account. Q: Can I control how many days ahead it shows? A: Yes, in agenda view. Set it anywhere from 1 to 90 days ahead in the app settings; 14 days is the default. Q: Do I need to keep a computer or browser open for this to work? A: No. Once it is configured, the screen runs on its own from the paired device. Nothing needs to stay open on your computer. Q: Can I use this method for an Outlook Calendar instead of Google Calendar? A: Yes. Screenbird has a separate Outlook Calendar app that connects the same way, with a Microsoft account or a public link. https://screenbird.app/en/guides/how-to-display-google-calendar-on-tv ### How to mirror your laptop to a TV A laptop can go on a TV screen four ways: an HDMI cable, a casting stick built for entertainment, the TV's own mirroring feature, or dashboard-based screen sharing software. For a screen you don't want tethered to one device, dashboard sharing is the flexible route: click share from any paired screen, and your laptop appears there in seconds. An HDMI cable: works every time, but it physically tethers your laptop to the TV, so you can't walk around, and someone has to bring the right cable and adapter. A consumer casting stick (Chromecast, AirPlay): is built for entertainment, not meetings, and only works cleanly if everyone in the room has the matching ecosystem. The smart TV's own mirroring feature: exists on some TVs, but the steps, reliability, and even whether it exists at all differ by brand, so it isn't something you can count on in an unfamiliar room. Q: Do I need to pair my screen again every time I want to share? A: No. Pairing your screen with Screenbird happens once. After that, sharing is just a click away in that screen's settings, any time you need it. Q: Why does my browser ask me to pick a screen, window, or tab? A: That's your own browser's permission dialog, not something Screenbird controls; it makes sure you consciously choose what to share. Pick your entire screen to show everything, including notifications, or a single window or tab to keep the rest of your laptop private. Q: What happens if my laptop closes or the browser crashes mid-share? A: The share ends right away, since it depends on that browser tab staying open and connected. The screen just falls back to its normal content; it doesn't get stuck or show an error. Q: Can different people hand the screen off to each other during the same meeting? A: Yes. Whoever is presenting stops their share, or just closes the tab, and the next person clicks Share to this screen from their own laptop. Each share is independent. Q: How do I know which screen to share to if I manage more than one? A: Screen sharing lives inside that specific screen's own settings, so open the exact screen, or the specific zone if it's part of a video wall or split screen, that you want to mirror to, and click Share to this screen there. Q: How can I test the setup before a real meeting? A: Pair the screen ahead of time, then click Share to this screen once as a trial run. Stop when you're done, and it returns to its normal content, so a quick test doesn't disrupt anything. Q: Does it matter which browser I share from? A: No, sharing itself works the same from Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari on a laptop or desktop. Audio sharing is the one part that differs slightly by browser and operating system. https://screenbird.app/en/guides/how-to-mirror-your-laptop-to-a-tv ### How to display VALD leaderboards on a TV A VALD leaderboard can reach a TV screen a few ways: exporting test results to a spreadsheet, casting the VALD Hub from a laptop, or connecting your VALD environment directly to signage software that ranks and displays it for you. For a board that stays current without anyone re-exporting it, the direct connection is the one built for a screen that's always on. Export test results to a spreadsheet: works once, but every new test session means exporting and re-uploading again, so the board is out of date by the next workout. Cast the VALD Hub from a laptop: ties up a laptop next to the screen and shows VALD's own interface, not a clean ranked leaderboard built for a TV. Print a leaderboard sheet: is static the moment it's printed, and someone has to remember to reprint it after every session. Q: How do I get VALD API access if I don't already have it? A: Request it from VALD directly; they issue the Client ID and Client Secret your account uses. That's VALD's own process, so it can take longer than the Screenbird side of the setup, which is why it's worth requesting early. Q: Can I run leaderboards for more than one team? A: Yes. Each VALD app on a screen is scoped to one team, so add a separate app for each squad, for example a first team and an academy group, and they never mix. Q: Do I need VALD hardware to use this? A: Yes. This connects to an existing VALD ForceDecks or NordBord setup and reads its test results; it doesn't work without a VALD environment already recording data. Q: If a player leaves the team, do they disappear from the board automatically? A: Not automatically. Use the exclude toggle in the VALD app's settings to search for and hide anyone you don't want to appear, whether they've left, are on loan, or are injured. Q: Does this replace VALD's own software? A: No. VALD Hub and the ForceDecks/NordBord systems stay the system of record for testing; Screenbird only reads that data to display a leaderboard on a screen. Q: Can I choose which test and metric show on the board? A: Yes. The test and metric are both dropdowns fed by your own VALD catalog, so you only see what your team actually records, not a fixed list. https://screenbird.app/en/guides/how-to-display-vald-leaderboards-on-tv ## Compare (in depth) ### Screenbird vs Yodeck (2026): Pricing & Feature Comparison Screenbird and Yodeck both run reliable digital signage, but they package it differently. Screenbird puts every feature, including live screen mirroring and its full catalog of Google and Microsoft data apps, on one plan at EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually, so nothing sits behind a higher tier as your needs grow. Yodeck includes a free Raspberry Pi player on annual plans, unlimited storage, and a free plan for a single screen. It does not offer live screen mirroring, though, and several of its capabilities are spread across its Basic, Premium, and Enterprise tiers. If you want every capability available from day one without tier-shopping, Screenbird is the simpler choice. Screenbird (Every plan): EUR 12 per screen / month, billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly). Yodeck (Premium): USD 12 per screen / month (same rate billed monthly or annually). - Live screen mirroring: Screenbird ✓ / Yodeck ✗ (Open feature request on Yodeck's feedback board since 2019 (status: Accepted, not shipped).) - All features on one plan: Screenbird ✓ / Yodeck Split across Basic / Premium / Enterprise tiers - Google & Microsoft data apps (Sheets, Slides, Power BI): Screenbird ✓ Included on every plan / Yodeck Premium tier and up - Dashboard languages: Screenbird 15 / Yodeck Without Spanish, Chinese, Korean or Polish (Per Yodeck's supported-languages documentation (last updated July 2025).) - Proof of play: Screenbird ✓ Included / Yodeck Premium tier and up - Works on your existing screens/players: Screenbird ✓ Fire TV, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, or any browser / Yodeck ✓ - Free hardware player included: Screenbird ✗ Bring your own device / Yodeck ✓ Raspberry Pi player on annual plans (Honest Yodeck strength: a free Raspberry Pi player ships with each screen on its annual plans.) - Storage: Screenbird 10 GB per screen included, paid upsell tiers beyond that / Yodeck Unlimited (fair-use policy) (Honest Yodeck strength: unlimited cloud storage and bandwidth (fair-use policy applies).) - Free trial: Screenbird ✓ / Yodeck ✓ - Monthly billing available: Screenbird ✓ / Yodeck ✓ Comparison last verified July 14, 2026. Currencies shown as billed (EUR vs USD), not converted. When Yodeck is the better fit: - You want a free Raspberry Pi media player bundled with each screen and you're comfortable with an annual plan to get it. - You need unlimited cloud storage and bandwidth (a fair-use policy applies) without watching a per-screen allowance. - You run a single screen and want a free forever plan for it. When Screenbird is the better fit: - You want live screen mirroring built in today, not an open feature request. - You want every feature on one plan, with no tier-shopping as you grow. - You want the Google and Microsoft data apps (Sheets, Slides, Power BI) without stepping up to a higher tier. - Your team manages screens in Spanish, Chinese, Korean, or Polish. Q: Is Screenbird a good alternative to Yodeck? A: Yes, especially if you want live screen mirroring and every feature included on one plan without tier-shopping. If a free bundled Raspberry Pi player, unlimited storage, or a free single-screen plan matters more to you, Yodeck is worth a look too. Q: How does Screenbird's price compare to Yodeck's? A: Screenbird is EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly), with every feature included. Yodeck's closest equivalent, its Premium tier, is USD 12 per screen per month (its tiers run USD 8, 12, and 16), and some capabilities, like its Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace apps, sit in Premium and up rather than on the cheapest tier. Q: Does Yodeck have screen mirroring? A: No, not currently. Live screen mirroring has been an open feature request on Yodeck's feedback board since 2019; its status there is Accepted, but it has not shipped. Screenbird includes it on every plan, from any desktop browser. Q: Can I switch from Yodeck to Screenbird without buying new hardware? A: In most cases, yes. Screenbird runs on Fire TV and Android players, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi devices, and in any browser, so the screens people already have installed for Yodeck can typically be repointed at Screenbird instead. Q: Where is Screenbird's data stored? A: Screenbird runs on EU infrastructure, using Supabase's EU regions together with Cloudflare. Your account and screen data stay in the EU. Q: Do I lose proof of play on a cheaper Screenbird plan? A: No. Screenbird has one plan with every feature included, so there is no cheaper tier to fall back to and no feature to lose. On Yodeck, playback reports sit in the Premium tier and up, per its own pricing table, so they are not part of the Basic plan. Q: How many languages does the Screenbird dashboard support? A: 15, including Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Polish, four languages that Yodeck's supported-languages documentation does not list. The dashboard itself is fully translated, not just the marketing site around it. Q: Does Screenbird require a long-term contract? A: No. Screenbird is billed monthly or annually with no multi-year contract requirement. Yodeck also offers monthly billing, at the same per-screen rate as its annual plans; its annual option adds a free Raspberry Pi player rather than a discount. Comparison last verified July 14, 2026. Yodeck is a trademark of its owner. Screenbird is not affiliated with or endorsed by Yodeck. https://screenbird.app/en/compare/screenbird-vs-yodeck ### Screenbird vs OptiSigns (2026): Pricing & Feature Comparison Screenbird and OptiSigns both make digital signage easy to run. The difference is what happens after the sticker price: Screenbird puts everything, proof of play, the Google and Microsoft data apps, EU data hosting, and live screen mirroring, on one plan at EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually. The price you see is the price you pay. OptiSigns offers a real free tier. Its catalog is spread across six plans and paid add-ons, though: proof of play starts at Pro, the data apps at Pro Plus, EU data hosting at Engage, and screen mirroring costs an extra USD 18 per screen per month on top of any plan. If you would rather buy one plan than shop through six, Screenbird is the simpler choice. Screenbird (Every plan): EUR 12 per screen / month, billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly). OptiSigns (Pro Plus): USD 13.50 per screen / month, billed annually (USD 15 billed monthly). - Live screen mirroring: Screenbird ✓ Included on every plan / OptiSigns Paid add-on (AeriCast) (AeriCast costs USD 18 per screen / month billed annually (USD 20 monthly), on top of any OptiSigns plan.) - All features on one plan: Screenbird ✓ / OptiSigns Split across six tiers (Free to Enterprise) - Proof of play: Screenbird ✓ Included / OptiSigns Pro tier and up - EU data hosting: Screenbird ✓ Standard for everyone / OptiSigns On request, Engage plan and up (OptiSigns' default storage is hosted in the US; EU data residency is available on request for Engage and Enterprise customers.) - Dashboard languages: Screenbird 15 / OptiSigns 8 (Per OptiSigns' own announcement: English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Swedish, Italian, and Dutch.) - Microsoft 365, Google Workspace & Power BI apps: Screenbird ✓ Included on every plan / OptiSigns Pro Plus tier and up - Works on your existing screens/players: Screenbird ✓ Fire TV, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, or any browser / OptiSigns ✓ Very broad device support - Free forever plan: Screenbird ✗ Free trial instead / OptiSigns ✓ 3 screens, with watermark (Honest OptiSigns strength: a free tier with 3 screens, 1 GB storage, and 25 apps, no credit card required.) - Free trial: Screenbird ✓ / OptiSigns ✓ - Monthly billing available: Screenbird ✓ / OptiSigns ✓ Prices verified July 14, 2026. Currencies shown as billed (EUR vs USD), not converted. When OptiSigns is the better fit: - You want a free forever plan: 3 screens with 1 GB storage and 25 apps, watermarked, with no credit card required. - You want a large app marketplace: 140+ apps in their catalog. - You want broad hardware support, from their own sticks and players to Raspberry Pi, BrightSign, ChromeOS, Apple TV, and Samsung and LG screens. When Screenbird is the better fit: - You want live screen mirroring included, not an add-on that costs more per screen than the base plan itself. - You want every feature, including proof of play, on one plan with no six-tier ladder to climb. - You need EU data hosting as the standard, not an on-request option gated to the higher tiers. - Your team works across more languages: the Screenbird dashboard ships in 15, OptiSigns' in 8. Q: Is Screenbird a good alternative to OptiSigns? A: Yes. Screenbird includes everything OptiSigns spreads across its six plans and paid add-ons, proof of play, the Google and Microsoft data apps, EU data hosting, and live screen mirroring, on one plan at EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually. If a free forever tier or a larger app marketplace matters more to you, OptiSigns is worth a look too. Q: How does Screenbird's price compare to OptiSigns'? A: Screenbird is EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly), with every feature included. OptiSigns' closest equivalent, Pro Plus, is USD 13.50 per screen per month billed annually (USD 15 monthly), but screen mirroring is not in it: that is a separate add-on at USD 18 per screen per month, which takes the mirroring-included total to USD 31.50. Q: Does OptiSigns include screen mirroring? A: No plan includes it. Screen mirroring on OptiSigns is the AeriCast add-on, priced at USD 18 per screen per month billed annually (USD 20 monthly) on top of any base plan. Screenbird includes live screen mirroring on every plan, from any desktop browser. Q: Can I switch from OptiSigns to Screenbird without buying new hardware? A: In most cases, yes. Screenbird runs on Fire TV and Android players, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi devices, and in any browser, so the devices many OptiSigns setups already use can typically be repointed at Screenbird instead. Q: Where is my data stored on each platform? A: Screenbird runs on EU infrastructure (Supabase's EU regions together with Cloudflare) as the standard for every customer. OptiSigns stores data in the US by default and offers EU data residency on request for its Engage and Enterprise customers. Q: Does OptiSigns have a free plan? A: Yes: 3 screens, 1 GB of storage, and 25 apps, with an OptiSigns watermark on screen and without schedules or split screen. Screenbird does not have a free tier; it has a free trial of the full product instead. Q: Do I lose proof of play on a cheaper plan? A: Not on Screenbird: there is one plan and proof of play is in it. On OptiSigns, proof of play starts at the Pro tier, so it is not available on the Free or Standard plans. Q: How many languages does each dashboard support? A: Screenbird's dashboard ships in 15 languages. OptiSigns' dashboard supports 8 (English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Swedish, Italian, and Dutch), per their own announcement. Comparison last verified July 14, 2026. OptiSigns is a trademark of its owner. Screenbird is not affiliated with or endorsed by OptiSigns. https://screenbird.app/en/compare/screenbird-vs-optisigns ### Screenbird vs ScreenCloud (2026): Pricing & Feature Comparison Screenbird and ScreenCloud solve the same problem at very different price points. Screenbird includes every feature, live laptop screen mirroring, proof of play, and its data apps, on one plan at EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually, while ScreenCloud's like-for-like Pro plan is USD 30 per screen per month billed annually, plus VAT. ScreenCloud has a large integration catalog and an enterprise support layer aimed at larger rollouts. The capabilities themselves tell a simpler story, though: proof of play, the data dashboards, and custom roles all sit in its USD 30 Pro tier, and live laptop mirroring is not part of any plan. Unless you specifically need that enterprise service layer, Screenbird does more for far less. Screenbird (Every plan): EUR 12 per screen / month, billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly), excl. VAT. ScreenCloud (Pro): USD 30 per screen / month, billed annually (USD 36 billed monthly), plus VAT. - Live laptop screen mirroring: Screenbird ✓ Every plan, from any desktop browser / ScreenCloud ✗ (ScreenCloud's Casting feature sends content from your ScreenCloud account to the screen (not a live laptop feed); its Broadcast live streams require third-party streaming software (Zoom, OBS, Microsoft Teams) and the Pro plan.) - All features on one plan: Screenbird ✓ / ScreenCloud Split across Core / Pro / Enterprise tiers - Proof of play: Screenbird ✓ Included / ScreenCloud Pro and Enterprise only - Data dashboard apps (Power BI and more): Screenbird ✓ Power BI, Sheets & Slides on every plan / ScreenCloud Pro tier and up - Dashboard languages: Screenbird ✓ 15 languages / ScreenCloud Not publicly documented (ScreenCloud's published multi-language support applies to on-screen content apps, not the management dashboard (verified July 14, 2026).) - Works on your existing screens/players: Screenbird ✓ Fire TV, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, or any browser / ScreenCloud ✓ - Runs natively on Samsung Tizen / LG webOS (no external player): Screenbird ✗ Uses a Fire TV, Android, or browser-based player / ScreenCloud ✓ (Honest ScreenCloud strength: compatible Samsung (SSSP 10 / Tizen 6.5+) and LG webOS screens run ScreenCloud without any external device.) - Free trial: Screenbird ✓ / ScreenCloud ✓ - Monthly billing available: Screenbird ✓ / ScreenCloud ✓ Prices verified July 14, 2026. Currencies shown as billed (EUR vs USD), not converted. When ScreenCloud is the better fit: - Your screens are (or will be) commercial Samsung Tizen or LG webOS displays and you want them running signage natively, with no external player device. - You want a large integration surface: 80+ app integrations in their catalog. - You want an enterprise support layer around the rollout: a Customer Success Manager, onboarding and training, and professional design support on the Enterprise tier. When Screenbird is the better fit: - You want walk-up laptop sharing with zero setup, included on every plan. - You want every feature, including proof of play, at EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually instead of a Pro-tier price. - You want the data apps (Power BI, Google Sheets, Google Slides) without stepping up a tier. - Your team manages screens in more than one language: the Screenbird dashboard ships in 15. Q: Is Screenbird a good alternative to ScreenCloud? A: Yes, especially if you want live laptop screen mirroring and every feature on one plan at a much lower per-screen price. If an enterprise support layer with a dedicated Customer Success Manager matters more to you, ScreenCloud is worth a look too. Q: How does Screenbird's price compare to ScreenCloud's? A: Screenbird is EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly), excl. VAT, with every feature included. ScreenCloud's like-for-like Pro plan is USD 30 per screen per month billed annually (USD 36 monthly), plus VAT; its cheaper Core plan (USD 20 annually) does not include proof of play or the data dashboard apps. Q: Can ScreenCloud mirror my laptop to a screen? A: Not as a live laptop feed. ScreenCloud's Casting feature sends content from your ScreenCloud account to the screen, and its Broadcast feature carries live streams but requires third-party streaming software such as Zoom, OBS, or Microsoft Teams, on the Pro plan. Screenbird includes peer-to-peer laptop mirroring from any desktop browser on every plan. Q: Can I switch from ScreenCloud to Screenbird without buying new hardware? A: Often, yes: Screenbird runs on Fire TV and Android players, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi devices, and in any browser, so screens driven by a media device can be repointed directly. Samsung or LG screens that run ScreenCloud natively on the display itself would need a small external player, like a Fire TV stick. Q: Do I lose proof of play on a cheaper plan? A: Not on Screenbird: there is one plan and proof of play is in it. On ScreenCloud, proof of play logs are available on Pro and Enterprise only, not on Core. Q: Which languages does each dashboard support? A: Screenbird's management dashboard ships in 15 languages. ScreenCloud's published multi-language support applies to its on-screen content apps; a translated management dashboard is not publicly documented. Q: Does Screenbird have as many integrations as ScreenCloud? A: ScreenCloud lists 80+ integrations in its catalog; Screenbird ships more than 40 apps, including Google Sheets, Google Slides, Power BI, Canva, and Instagram, and every one of them is included on every plan rather than tier-gated.

Screenbird is not affiliated with or endorsed by ScreenCloud. https://screenbird.app/en/compare/screenbird-vs-screencloud ### Screenbird vs NoviSign (2026): Pricing & Feature Comparison Screenbird and NoviSign both run dependable digital signage. The difference is how much of the toolkit comes with the price: Screenbird puts everything, proof of play, the data apps, a 15-language dashboard, EU hosting, and live screen mirroring, on one plan at EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually. The price you see is the price you pay. NoviSign offers interactive kiosk widgets and POS integrations. Those capabilities sit up a ladder, though: proof of play and the data integrations start at Business Plus (USD 26), user management and content approvals need Premium (USD 44), the dashboard comes in 3 languages, and screen mirroring is not offered at all. If you would rather buy one plan than climb tiers for the features you need, Screenbird is the simpler choice. Screenbird (Every plan): EUR 12 per screen / month, billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly). NoviSign (Business Plus): USD 26 per screen / month, billed annually (monthly billing available at a higher rate). - Live screen mirroring: Screenbird ✓ Included on every plan / NoviSign ✗ Not offered - All features on one plan: Screenbird ✓ / NoviSign Split across Business / Business Plus / Premium tiers (SSO, API access, user and permission management, audit logs, and content approvals require NoviSign's Premium tier (USD 44 per screen / month billed annually).) - Proof of play: Screenbird ✓ Included / NoviSign Business Plus tier and up - Dashboard languages: Screenbird 15 / NoviSign 3 (English, German, and Hebrew, per NoviSign's own help center.) - Data apps (Power BI and more): Screenbird ✓ Power BI, Sheets & Slides on every plan / NoviSign Business Plus tier and up - EU data hosting: Screenbird ✓ EU infrastructure, standard / NoviSign US and Germany (no EU-only residency published) (NoviSign's privacy policy states data is stored in the USA and Germany with GDPR measures in place.) - Works on your existing screens/players: Screenbird ✓ Fire TV, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, or any browser / NoviSign ✓ Very broad device support - Free trial: Screenbird ✓ / NoviSign ✓ - Monthly billing available: Screenbird ✓ / NoviSign ✓ Prices verified July 14, 2026. Currencies shown as billed (EUR vs USD), not converted. When NoviSign is the better fit: - You're building interactive or kiosk experiences: touch widgets, smart queue management, and IoT and RFID event triggers (Business Plus and up). - You need deep POS, BI, and hospitality integrations such as Toast POS, Power BI, Tableau, Amadeus Delphi, and Zapier's 5,000+ apps (Business Plus and up). - You want very broad hardware support, from Samsung Tizen and LG webOS to BrightSign, Novastar LED, and the Amazon Signage Stick. When Screenbird is the better fit: - You want live screen mirroring, which NoviSign does not offer on any plan. - You want proof of play, data apps, and team management on one flat plan instead of a USD 18 to USD 44 tier ladder. - Your team works beyond English, German, or Hebrew: the Screenbird dashboard ships in 15 languages. - You need EU data hosting as the standard for every customer. Q: Is Screenbird a good alternative to NoviSign? A: Yes. Screenbird puts everything NoviSign spreads across its Business, Business Plus, and Premium tiers, proof of play, the data apps, and team management, on one plan at EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually, and adds live screen mirroring, which NoviSign does not offer, plus a dashboard in 15 languages instead of 3. If deep interactive kiosk features or POS integrations like Toast matter more to you, NoviSign is worth a look too. Q: How does Screenbird's price compare to NoviSign's? A: Screenbird is EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly), with every feature included. NoviSign's closest equivalent, Business Plus, is USD 26 per screen per month billed annually, and features like user management, audit logs, and content approvals require its Premium tier at USD 44. Q: Does NoviSign have screen mirroring? A: No, it is not offered on any plan. NoviSign's closest feature casts NoviSign playlists to a Chromecast, which plays signage content rather than sharing a laptop screen. Screenbird includes live screen mirroring on every plan, from any desktop browser. Q: Can I switch from NoviSign to Screenbird without buying new hardware? A: In most cases, yes. Screenbird runs on Android and Fire TV players (including the Amazon Signage Stick), Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi devices, and in any browser, so the same devices many NoviSign setups already use can typically be repointed at Screenbird instead. Q: How many languages does each dashboard support? A: Screenbird's dashboard ships in 15 languages. NoviSign's Studio is available in 3 (English, German, and Hebrew), per their own help center, which suggests contacting support to request additional languages. Q: Do I lose proof of play on a cheaper plan? A: Not on Screenbird: there is one plan and proof of play is in it. On NoviSign, proof of play starts at Business Plus; the entry Business tier has generic reports and monitoring instead. Q: Where is my data stored on each platform? A: Screenbird runs on EU infrastructure (Supabase's EU regions together with Cloudflare) as the standard for every customer. NoviSign's privacy policy states data is stored in the USA and Germany with GDPR measures in place; a EU-only residency option is not published. Comparison last verified July 14, 2026.

The difference is what comes with the price: Screenbird puts everything, analytics and proof of play, screen power control, a dashboard fully translated into 15 languages, EU hosting for every customer, and live screen mirroring, on one plan at EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually. The price you see is the price you pay. Play offers a forever-free single screen and no published storage caps on any plan. Its features climb a ladder, though: analytics and proof of play arrive only at Ultimate, several controls are reserved for paid plans, and where your data lives follows the signup location of your first team member. If you would rather buy one plan with everything on it than track what each tier includes, Screenbird is the more complete package at the same order of price. Screenbird (Every plan): EUR 12 per screen / month, billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly). Play Digital Signage (Ultimate): USD 16 per screen / month (10% off billed annually). - Live screen mirroring: Screenbird ✓ Included on every plan / Play Digital Signage No published live screen mirroring feature - All features on one plan: Screenbird ✓ / Play Digital Signage Split across Free / Essential / Pro / Ultimate tiers - Analytics & proof of play: Screenbird ✓ Included / Play Digital Signage Ultimate tier only (Per Play's own pricing table; not available on the Free or Essential plans.) - Screen on/off power control: Screenbird ✓ Included / Play Digital Signage Paid plans only (Per Play's pricing table, screen power control, slide conditions, and sync are not on the Free plan.) - Dashboard languages: Screenbird ✓ 15 languages, full dashboard UI / Play Digital Signage 14 languages advertised; UI scope not specified (Play's supported-languages page lists 14 languages but does not state whether this covers the editor UI or only on-screen content (verified July 14, 2026).) - EU data hosting: Screenbird ✓ EU infrastructure for all customers / Play Digital Signage Depends on the signup location of the first team member (Per Play's privacy policy; teams whose first user signs up from the EU are hosted on EU servers.) - Storage: Screenbird 10 GB per screen included, paid upsell tiers beyond that / Play Digital Signage ✓ No published caps (Honest Play strength: their pricing table lists 'Free Storage' on all tiers.) - Free forever plan: Screenbird ✗ Free trial instead / Play Digital Signage ✓ 1 screen (Honest Play strength: no credit card required; Play's stated condition is leaving a review within 30 days.) - Works on your existing screens/players: Screenbird ✓ Fire TV, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, or any browser / Play Digital Signage ✓ Very broad device support - Monthly billing available: Screenbird ✓ / Play Digital Signage ✓ Prices verified July 14, 2026. Currencies shown as billed (EUR vs USD), not converted. When Play Digital Signage is the better fit: - You run a single screen and want it forever free, no credit card required (Play's condition: leave a review within 30 days). - You want storage without published caps on any tier. - You want a published 99.95% uptime SLA that applies uniformly to all accounts. When Screenbird is the better fit: - You want live screen mirroring, which Play does not list anywhere in its published feature set. - You want analytics, proof of play, and screen power control on one plan, not spread across a four-tier ladder. - You want a dashboard confirmed to be fully translated: 15 languages covering the entire dashboard UI. - You need EU hosting guaranteed for every customer, not dependent on where the first team member signed up. Q: Is Screenbird a good alternative to Play Digital Signage? A: Yes, especially once you're past a single screen: Screenbird puts analytics and proof of play, screen power control, a 15-language dashboard, and live screen mirroring on one plan at a comparable per-screen price, with nothing reserved for a higher tier. If a forever-free single screen or uncapped storage matters most to you, that is where Play fits. Q: How does Screenbird's price compare to Play's? A: Screenbird is EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly), with every feature included. Play's Ultimate plan, the first tier with analytics and proof of play, is USD 16 per screen per month, with 10 percent off billed annually. Q: Does Play Digital Signage have screen mirroring? A: Play has no published live screen mirroring feature: its pricing feature table lists no mirroring or casting capability, and its Chromecast and AirPlay guides cover playing signage content on that hardware rather than sharing a laptop. Screenbird includes live screen mirroring on every plan, from any desktop browser. Q: Can I switch from Play to Screenbird without buying new hardware? A: In most cases, yes. Screenbird runs on Fire TV and Android players (including the Amazon Signage Stick), Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi devices, and in any browser, so the same devices many Play setups already use can typically be repointed at Screenbird instead. Q: Do I lose analytics or proof of play on a cheaper plan? A: Not on Screenbird: there is one plan and analytics with proof of play are in it. On Play, per their own pricing table, analytics and proof of play sit in the Ultimate tier and are not available on Free, Essential, or Pro. Q: How many languages does each dashboard support? A: Screenbird's dashboard ships in 15 languages, covering the full dashboard UI. Play advertises 14 supported languages, but its supported-languages page does not specify whether that covers the editor UI or only on-screen content. Q: Where is my data stored on each platform? A: Screenbird runs on EU infrastructure for all customers. Play stores a team's data based on where its first user signed up: EU signups are hosted on EU servers (Amsterdam), while per Play's privacy policy a team whose first user signs up from a US IP address is stored exclusively on US servers. Q: Does Play have a free plan? A: Yes, and it is a real strength: one screen, forever free with no credit card, with Play's stated condition of leaving a review within 30 days. Screenbird does not have a free tier; it has a free trial of the full product instead. Comparison last verified July 14, 2026. Play Digital Signage is a trademark of its owner.

What the sticker doesn't show is where Screenbird earns the difference: the player apps are part of that price on every supported platform, where Xibo sells them as separate paid licences per display, plus 10 GB of storage per screen instead of cloud allowances measured in single gigabytes, live screen mirroring from any desktop browser, and a maintained 15-language dashboard. Xibo's actual proposition is something else entirely: an open-source CMS with 17 years of development that technical teams can self-host for free and adapt to their needs. If you have the ops bench for that, self-hosting is what Xibo is built for. If you want signage that just runs, with no Docker stack, licence math, or bandwidth budgeting, Screenbird is the simpler buy. Screenbird (Every plan): EUR 12 per screen / month, billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly). Xibo (Business (Cloud)): £5.50 per display / month (Cloud plans from £3.50; self-hosting free, with paid player licences). - Browser-based laptop screen casting: Screenbird ✓ Every plan, from any desktop browser / Xibo ✗ (Xibo has no browser-based laptop or device casting; a community feature request exists and Xibo's suggested workaround is external HDMI-encoder hardware. Xibo's Mirrored Sync Group synchronizes content across displays, which is a different feature.) - Player apps included: Screenbird ✓ Included on all supported platforms / Xibo Windows player free; Android, webOS, Tizen & ChromeOS are paid licences per display - Storage & bandwidth: Screenbird 10 GB storage per screen included / Xibo 1 to 2 GB storage and 4 to 8 GB bandwidth per month on Cloud plans (Per Xibo's cloud documentation.) - Proof of play: Screenbird ✓ Included / Xibo ✓ Included (Xibo includes proof of play on all Cloud tiers; extended retention sits on its Enterprise tier.) - Dashboard languages: Screenbird 15 languages, maintained set / Xibo Community-translated, no fixed set (Xibo's CMS is community-translated via Launchpad; per community documentation its Windows player is English-only and its Android player ships 6 languages.) - Open-source self-hosting available: Screenbird ✗ / Xibo ✓ Free CMS (AGPLv3) (Honest Xibo strength: the CMS is free open source; most player platforms still require paid licences.) - Works on your existing screens/players: Screenbird ✓ Fire TV, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, or any browser / Xibo ✓ - Free trial: Screenbird ✓ / Xibo ✓ Prices verified July 14, 2026. Currencies shown as billed (EUR vs GBP), not converted. When Xibo is the better fit: - You want a fully open-source platform you can self-host for free (AGPLv3), owning the whole stack with no per-screen SaaS fee. - You have a technical team and want one-time perpetual player licences: genuine no-recurring-fee economics at scale. - You want a long-established open-source CMS (17+ years of development) with DataSets, granular permissions, multi-zone layouts, and an active community. When Screenbird is the better fit: - You want walk-up laptop sharing from a browser on every plan, without encoder hardware. - You want one flat all-in price: player apps on every supported platform, 10 GB per screen, and every feature included, with no licence math. - You want a dashboard maintained in 15 languages rather than community-translated coverage. - You want nothing to host: no Docker stack, no server to patch, no ports to open. Q: Is Screenbird a good alternative to Xibo? A: Yes, if you want a fully managed platform where one flat price covers everything: player apps on every supported platform, 10 GB of storage per screen, every feature, and live screen mirroring. If you have a technical team and want to self-host an open-source CMS for free, that is exactly the use case Xibo is built for. Q: Is Xibo cheaper than Screenbird? A: On sticker price, yes: Xibo Cloud runs from £3.50 to £9.00 per display per month against Screenbird's EUR 12 billed annually. The all-in comparison is closer, because Xibo's Android, webOS, Tizen, and ChromeOS players are paid licences per display and its Cloud plans carry storage and bandwidth allowances, while Screenbird's price includes the players, 10 GB per screen, and every feature. Q: Can Xibo mirror my laptop to a screen? A: Xibo has no browser-based laptop or device casting; a community feature request exists, and the suggested workaround is external HDMI-encoder hardware. Its Mirrored Sync Group feature synchronizes content across displays (a video-wall capability), which is not screen mirroring. Screenbird includes peer-to-peer laptop mirroring from any desktop browser on every plan. Q: Isn't Xibo free? A: The Xibo CMS is free, open-source software (AGPLv3) you can self-host. Xibo Cloud is a paid service, and on both routes most player platforms (Android, webOS, Tizen, ChromeOS) require paid commercial licences per display; the Windows player is the free one. Xibo's own pricing page notes that self-hosting has "a higher total cost of ownership than choosing a plan". Q: Can I switch from Xibo to Screenbird without buying new hardware? A: In many cases, yes. Screenbird runs on Android players, Windows, Mac, and Linux machines, Raspberry Pi, Fire TV, and in any browser, so the devices driving Xibo displays today can typically be repointed at Screenbird directly. Q: Do I lose proof of play on a cheaper plan? A: Not on Screenbird: there is one plan and proof of play is in it. And to be fair to Xibo, proof of play is included on all its Cloud tiers as well; only extended retention is tied to its Enterprise tier. Q: How many languages does each dashboard support? A: Screenbird's dashboard ships in 15 languages as a maintained set. Xibo's CMS is community-translated via Launchpad without an official fixed set; per community documentation, its Windows player is English-only and its Android player ships 6 languages. Q: What are the storage limits on each platform? A: Screenbird includes 10 GB of storage per screen, with paid upsell tiers beyond that. Xibo Cloud's plans carry 1 to 2 GB of storage and 4 to 8 GB of monthly bandwidth per Xibo's cloud documentation; a self-hosted Xibo is limited only by your own server.

The difference is how much of that comes with the entry price: Screenbird puts everything, screen mirroring, proof of play, the data apps, and a 15-language dashboard, on one plan at EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually. The price you see is the price you pay. Fugo focuses on TV dashboards, and its browser-based screen casting works without an app install. On Fugo those capabilities climb a ladder, though: casting and the Power BI and Looker integrations start at Core (USD 30), and proof of play requires Enterprise at USD 40 per screen with no annual discount. If you want the full toolkit without a tier decision, Screenbird is the simpler choice. Screenbird (Every plan): EUR 12 per screen / month, billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly). Fugo (Core): USD 30 per screen / month, billed annually (USD 36 billed monthly). - Live screen mirroring: Screenbird ✓ Every plan / Fugo Core plan and up (Casting is available on Fugo's Core and Enterprise plans; it is not part of the Essential plan.) - Proof of play: Screenbird ✓ Included / Fugo Enterprise plan only (Proof of play requires Fugo's Enterprise plan (USD 40 per screen / month, no annual discount).) - All features on one plan: Screenbird ✓ / Fugo Split across Essential / Core / Enterprise tiers - Data dashboard apps (Power BI and more): Screenbird ✓ Power BI, Sheets & Slides on every plan / Fugo Power BI and Looker on Core and up - Dashboard languages: Screenbird 15 / Fugo 9 (Per Fugo's help center: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Swedish, and Portuguese.) - Works on your existing screens/players: Screenbird ✓ Fire TV, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, or any browser / Fugo ✓ Very broad device support - Free trial: Screenbird ✓ / Fugo ✓ - Monthly billing available: Screenbird ✓ / Fugo ✓ Prices verified July 14, 2026. Currencies shown as billed (EUR vs USD), not converted. When Fugo is the better fit: - TV dashboards are your core use case: native Power BI and Looker integrations, plus an on-premise dashboards option on Enterprise for low-latency needs. - You need a formal compliance posture: SOC 2 Type II, a public trust center with a downloadable SOC 3 report, and a HIPAA self-assessment. - You want a broad app and template ecosystem (40+ free apps, premium apps on Core and up, a design studio) with very broad hardware support, including their own hardware and IAdea and BrightSign players. When Screenbird is the better fit: - You want screen mirroring on every plan, not starting at a USD 30 tier. - You need proof of play without paying USD 40 per screen for an Enterprise plan. - You want every feature at one flat price, with no Essential-Core-Enterprise decision to make. - Your team works in more languages: the Screenbird dashboard ships in 15, Fugo's CMS in 9. Q: Is Screenbird a good alternative to Fugo? A: Yes. Screenbird puts everything Fugo spreads across its Essential, Core, and Enterprise tiers, screen mirroring, proof of play, and the data apps, on one plan at EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually. If native Looker dashboards or a formal SOC 2 compliance posture matter most to you, Fugo is worth a look too. Q: How does Screenbird's price compare to Fugo's? A: Screenbird is EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually (EUR 15 billed monthly), with every feature included. Fugo runs USD 20 (Essential), USD 30 (Core), and USD 40 (Enterprise) per screen per month billed annually, and its annual discount does not apply to Enterprise. Screen casting starts at Core, and proof of play sits in Enterprise. Q: Does Fugo have screen mirroring? A: Yes, and it is one of the few signage platforms that does: browser-based casting with no app install, on Mac and Windows. Per Fugo's pricing FAQ it is available on the Core and Enterprise plans, with Core casting to up to 10 screens simultaneously. Screenbird includes live screen mirroring on every plan, from any desktop browser. Q: Can I switch from Fugo to Screenbird without buying new hardware? A: In most cases, yes. Screenbird runs on Android and Fire TV players (including the Amazon Signage Stick), Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi devices, and in any browser, so the devices driving Fugo screens today can typically be repointed at Screenbird instead. Q: Do I lose proof of play on a cheaper plan? A: Not on Screenbird: there is one plan and proof of play is in it. On Fugo, proof of play is available on the Enterprise plan only, at USD 40 per screen per month with no annual discount. Q: How many languages does each dashboard support? A: Screenbird's dashboard ships in 15 languages. Fugo's CMS supports 9, per their own help center: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Swedish, and Portuguese. Q: Where is my data stored on each platform? A: Screenbird runs on EU infrastructure, using Supabase's EU regions together with Cloudflare. Fugo's hosting is primarily UK (AWS London), with supporting infrastructure in Germany, documented in its public trust center. Comparison last verified July 14, 2026.

The most common reasons people go looking for an alternative are specific, though: it does not offer live screen mirroring (that has been an open feature request on its feedback board since 2019), its features are split across Basic, Premium, and Enterprise tiers, with proof of play and the Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace apps sitting in Premium and up, and its monthly billing costs the same per screen as annual, so flexibility does not come cheaper. None of that makes Yodeck a bad product. It means the right alternative depends on which of those things is pushing you to switch.

How we verified this Every fact on this page was verified against the vendors' own pricing pages, documentation, and help centers on July 14, 2026. Prices are quoted in the currency each vendor bills in, never converted. Every competitor entry links to a deeper one-on-one comparison with the underlying sources, a dated verification line, and an honest section on when that platform is the better fit. Q: Is Yodeck still a good choice in 2026? A: For many teams, yes. It includes a free Raspberry Pi player on annual plans, unlimited storage (fair-use policy applies), and a free single-screen plan. The usual reasons to switch are the lack of live screen mirroring, tier-gated features like proof of play (Premium and up), and monthly billing that costs the same as annual. Q: What is the cheapest Yodeck alternative? A: On sticker price: Play's paid plans start at USD 8 per screen per month, Xibo Cloud starts at £3.50 per display per month (GBP), and OptiSigns' paid plans start at USD 9. Which is actually cheapest for you depends on the features you need, since analytics, mirroring, and proof of play sit at different tiers on each platform. Q: Which Yodeck alternative has screen mirroring built in? A: Screenbird includes live screen mirroring from any desktop browser on every plan. Fugo also has real browser-based casting, on its Core plan and up, capped at 10 simultaneous screens on Core. Yodeck itself has no live screen mirroring; it is an open feature request on their feedback board. Q: Are there free Yodeck alternatives? A: Three honest options: OptiSigns has a real free tier (3 screens, 1 GB, watermarked), Play offers a forever-free single screen, and Xibo's CMS is free open source if you self-host it (most player apps still need paid licences). Screenbird has no free tier, only a free trial. Q: Can I switch away from Yodeck without buying new hardware? A: Often, yes. Screenbird, for example, runs on Fire TV and Android players (including the Amazon Signage Stick), Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi devices, and in any browser, so most screens driven by that kind of hardware can be repointed at a new platform. Q: Which alternatives include proof of play without a top tier? A: Screenbird includes proof of play on its one plan, and Xibo includes it on all Cloud tiers. Elsewhere it is gated: OptiSigns from Pro, ScreenCloud from Pro, NoviSign from Business Plus, Play in Ultimate only, and Fugo in Enterprise only. On Yodeck itself it requires Premium and up. Q: Does digital signage keep playing when the internet goes down? A: It depends on the platform and the player hardware, and it is worth testing during any trial. Screenbird is built offline-first: content is cached on each screen, so scheduled playback continues through an outage and the screen resyncs automatically when the connection returns. Q: Why is Screenbird ranked first on its own list? A: Because this is our list, and we say so openly rather than pretending otherwise. Every fact about every entry is verified the same way and linked to a sourced one-on-one comparison. If a free tier, bundled hardware, or self-hosting matters more to you than all-in simplicity, the entries above tell you honestly which platform to pick instead.

The reasons people look elsewhere are usually structural: screen mirroring is not included in any plan (it is the AeriCast add-on at USD 18 per screen per month billed annually, USD 20 monthly, on top of whatever you already pay), the catalog spans six tiers from Free to Enterprise, so working out what your setup really costs takes homework, and EU data residency is available only on request for Engage customers and up. If none of those matter to you, OptiSigns remains a solid pick. If one of them does, here are seven platforms worth considering, each with verified pricing and a link to a deeper one-on-one comparison. - 1.

How we verified this Every fact on this page was verified against the vendors' own pricing pages, documentation, and help centers on July 14, 2026. Prices are quoted in the currency each vendor bills in, never converted. Every competitor entry links to a deeper one-on-one comparison with the underlying sources, a dated verification line, and an honest section on when that platform is the better fit. Q: Is OptiSigns still a good choice in 2026? A: For many teams, yes. It offers a free tier, a 140+ app marketplace, and broad hardware support. The usual reasons to switch are the paid mirroring add-on, the six-tier catalog, and EU data residency being on-request only for higher tiers. Q: What is the cheapest OptiSigns alternative? A: On sticker price: Play's paid plans start at USD 8 per screen per month, Yodeck's at USD 8, and Xibo Cloud at £3.50 per display per month (GBP). Which is actually cheapest for you depends on the features you need, since mirroring, analytics, and proof of play sit at different tiers on each platform. Q: Which OptiSigns alternative has screen mirroring included? A: Screenbird includes live screen mirroring from any desktop browser on every plan, with no add-on fee. Fugo has real browser-based casting on Core and up. On OptiSigns itself, mirroring is the AeriCast add-on at USD 18 per screen per month billed annually (USD 20 monthly) on top of any plan. Q: Are there free OptiSigns alternatives? A: Yes. Yodeck has a free plan for a single screen, Play offers a forever-free single screen, and Xibo's CMS is free open source if you self-host it (most player apps still need paid licences). OptiSigns itself also has a free tier (3 screens, with a watermark), so if free is the priority, compare those options directly. Screenbird has no free tier, only a free trial. Q: Can I switch away from OptiSigns without buying new hardware? A: Often, yes. Screenbird, for example, runs on Fire TV and Android players (including the Amazon Signage Stick), Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi devices, and in any browser, so most screens driven by that kind of hardware can be repointed at a new platform. Q: Which alternatives include proof of play without a top tier? A: Screenbird includes proof of play on its one plan, and Xibo includes it on all Cloud tiers. Elsewhere it is gated: Yodeck from Premium, ScreenCloud from Pro, NoviSign from Business Plus, Play in Ultimate only, and Fugo in Enterprise only. On OptiSigns itself it starts at Pro. Q: Does digital signage keep playing when the internet goes down? A: It depends on the platform and the player hardware, and it is worth testing during any trial. Screenbird is built offline-first: content is cached on each screen, so scheduled playback continues through an outage and the screen resyncs automatically when the connection returns.

Screenbird is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them. https://screenbird.app/en/compare/optisigns-alternatives ### The 7 best ScreenCloud alternatives in 2026 ScreenCloud runs natively on Samsung Tizen and LG webOS screens, with no external player. The reasons people look for alternatives are mostly about price and packaging: the like-for-like Pro plan is USD 30 per screen per month billed annually, plus VAT, proof of play and the data dashboard apps are gated to that Pro tier, and there is no live laptop mirroring on any plan (its Cast feature sends content from your ScreenCloud account to the screen, and Broadcast needs third-party streaming software such as Zoom, OBS, or Microsoft Teams). If your fleet is built on Samsung or LG SoC displays, that native support matters. If you are paying for more than you use, here are seven platforms worth a look, each with verified pricing and a link to a deeper one-on-one comparison. - 1.

Every competitor entry links to a deeper one-on-one comparison with the underlying sources, a dated verification line, and an honest section on when that platform is the better fit. Q: Is ScreenCloud still a good choice in 2026? A: For the right fleet, yes. If your screens are commercial Samsung Tizen or LG webOS displays, running signage natively removes the external player from the setup, and its enterprise support layer targets large rollouts. The usual reasons to switch are the USD 30 Pro price point, Pro-gated proof of play and dashboards, and the lack of laptop mirroring. Q: What is the cheapest ScreenCloud alternative? A: On sticker price: Play's paid plans start at USD 8 per screen per month, Yodeck's at USD 8, OptiSigns' at USD 9, and Xibo Cloud at £3.50 per display per month (GBP). Which is actually cheapest for you depends on the features you need, since mirroring, analytics, and proof of play sit at different tiers on each platform. Q: Which ScreenCloud alternative can mirror a laptop to a screen? A: Screenbird includes live screen mirroring from any desktop browser on every plan. Fugo has real browser-based casting on Core and up. ScreenCloud itself has no live laptop feed: Cast pushes content from your ScreenCloud account, and Broadcast requires third-party streaming software on the Pro plan. Q: Are there free ScreenCloud alternatives? A: Yes. Yodeck has a free plan for a single screen, OptiSigns a free 3-screen tier (watermarked), Play a forever-free single screen, and Xibo's CMS is free open source if you self-host it (most player apps still need paid licences). Screenbird has no free tier, only a free trial. Q: Can I switch away from ScreenCloud without buying new hardware? A: It depends on your screens. Fleets driven by media devices (Fire TV, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi) can usually be repointed directly; Screenbird runs on all of those and in any browser. Samsung or LG screens that run ScreenCloud natively on the display itself would need a small external player on most alternatives, or a platform that ships Tizen/webOS players, like NoviSign or Xibo. Q: Which alternatives include proof of play without a top tier? A: Screenbird includes proof of play on its one plan, and Xibo includes it on all Cloud tiers. Elsewhere it is gated: Yodeck from Premium, OptiSigns from Pro, NoviSign from Business Plus, Play in Ultimate only, and Fugo in Enterprise only. On ScreenCloud itself it is Pro and Enterprise only.

Sub-screens are free: you pay per connected device, not per sub-screen. - Playlists: Group content into playlists with per-item duration, ordering and validity windows. Schedule a playlist to a screen, a zone or a sub-screen. - Time zones: Every screen carries its own IANA time zone. Build one schedule and each location plays it in its own local time, which is what chains across regions need. - TV Power Scheduling: Turn displays on and off on a schedule over HDMI-CEC, with no smart plug, which cuts energy use roughly in half. Works with Samsung Anynet+, LG Simplink and Sony Bravia Sync. - Brand identity: Store brand colours, fonts and logos once and reuse them across designs so every screen stays on-brand. - Proof of Play reports: Prove what played and when, down to the sub-screen.
